And despite the approval of one-and-done gene therapies from CRISPR Therapeutics / Vertex Pharmaceuticals and bluebird bio , patients still face unmet needs, analysts say. "This is a profoundly devastating disease," says Dr. Cameron Trenor, MD , head of translational medicine for Cellarity . #sicklecelldisease #genetherapy #celltherapy https://lnkd.in/ekQCDtZ5
